Lenovo Tab M10: The Basics

The Lenovo Tab M10 looks very similar to the Tab P10 which is its more expensive brother. However, with the M10, we get a full plastic back. You can get it in slate black and polar white. Two speakers above the screen are facing the front. It is just 8.1mm thin and weighs 480g.

On the sides, the tablet features a USB C 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack. We also get a micro SD card slot and, if you have the LTE version, the SIM card slot is located at the same place. Micro SD cards can have a capacity of up to 256GB.

The 10.1-inch IPS screen of the Lenovo Tab M10 has a full HD resolution with 1920 x 1200 pixels. Other specifications include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 octa-core SoC. Those eight cores are clocked at up to 1.8GHz. Depending on the market, you can get the M10 with 2GB or 3GB of RAM and 16GB or 32GB of internal storage.

As I said, you can also get it with build-in 4G. It supports Bluetooth 4.2, WiFi ac, and the cameras have a resolution of 5 and 2 megapixels. The battery has a capacity of 4850mAh and is said to last up to 8 hours.

Lenovo is shipping the Tab M10 with Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box. While the interface is not customized that much, kids software is pre-installed.

Pricing & Availability

While the Lenovo Tab M10 was announced in late summer 2018 already, it started to sell in the end of the year across some European countries. Prices start at 199 Euros. The Tab M10 should be available worldwide including in the United States, India, Thailand, Taiwan, and Malaysia by early 2019.

Alternatives

If you are looking for more premium features, you could check out the Lenovo Tab P10. While the internal hardware is similar to the M10, that ones has four great speakers and a fingerprint sensor. Other aspects are very similar though. It costs around 100 US Dollars more.

A very direct competitor is the Huawei MediaPad T5 10 with almost identical features. However, while the software is not as clean, the processor is a bit faster.

You could also take a look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5. Again, the internal hardware is very similar with both tablets featuring the Snapdragon 450 processor. The Galaxy Tab A 10.5 has four speakers and facial recognition. The later one is not working that good though.

The Lenovo Tab M10 offers a nice 10.1-inch full HD screen, a solid performance, and a pretty design. One of its major highlights is almost pure Android 8.1 Oreo. However, the battery life, speakers, and cameras are pretty weak. Luckily, it is very affordable.
